Kyrie,

In the past year, the only shooter Luger I have seen in this price range was a decent WWI Luger at a gun show in Florida a couple of months ago. It was priced at $375 and well worth that. It had been reblued, but was all matching (did not take it apart so I assume the internals matched), and not buffed. A good deal for the price. Normally I see them priced in the $500 range. Last year at a Greenville, SC show, there was a dealer with the import, dip blued pistols asking $800 per pistol. This guy did not sell any that I saw, but I guess someone would buy them eventually.

These are the prices I see at most gun shows in my area. I feel that they are overpriced, but I guess it is what the market will bear. Sometimes I will pay a little more for a pistol because I like it, or it will fill a place in my collection. I just hope the value will increase over the years and can recoup my investment. I buy mostly for the enjoyment of the pistols and not as an investment. I can't afford the high dollar investment grade stuff, ha, ha, ha, but I can always wish!
